2008 Nissan Rogue

The contact owns a 2008 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving approximately 5-10 MPH, she heard an abnormal intermittent banging sound coming from underneath the front end of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the strut assembly needed replaced. The contact stated the vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who test drove the vehicle but could not determine the cause of the failure. The mechanic performed a front-end alignment on the vehicle. The contact stated after the front-end alignment was completed, the abnormal banging sounds increased significantly. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who diagnosed that the driver’s side front subframe was corroded and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The contact was awaiting a call back from the manufacturer. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 57,000.

DRIVING ON A BUSY EXPRESSWAY, THERE WAS SUDDENLY A LOUD CLANGING UNDER THE CHASSIS. I STARTED DRIVING SLOWLY AND AGAIN THERE WAS AN EXTREMELY LOUD BANGING AGAINST THE CHASSIS. PULLED OF THE EXPRESSWAY WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTED SLOWING DOWN. WHEN I STARTED TO PULL INTO THE FIRST MINIMALL I COULD FIND, THE CAR STARTED MOVING BACKWARDS AND NONE OF THE GEARS WOULD WORK. COULD NOT TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AS THE CAR CONTINUED TO GO REVERSE INTO TRAFFIC. FINALLY AFTER GETTING ASSISTANCE FROM SEVERAL PEOPLE HELPING ME GET THE CAR INTO THE PARKING LOT, I WAS ABLE TO BE TOWED TO MY GARAGE, WHERE IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE DRIVE SHAFT HAD BROKEN OFF, KNOCKING OFF A PIECE OF THE OD SENSOR AND THEN KNOCKED OUT THE EXHAUST PIPE WHICH THEN SNAPPED OFF THE SHIFT ASSEMBLY CABLE AND ALL THE GEARS. MY MECHANIC HAS NEVER SEEN ANYTHING AS BAD AS THIS. THE CAR IS COMPLETELY UNDRIVEABLE AND I SHUDDER TO THINK WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO MY FAMILY AND MYSELF AS WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. CURRENTLY MY CAR IS STILL AT THE MECHANIC'S WHERE HE IS WAITING FOR A DECISION FROM ME AS TO WHAT TO DO WITH THE CAR WHICH WILL COST $3,000 TO REPAIR WHICH IS WHAT THE TRADE VALUE IS ON THE CAR AND WHAT THE CAR WAS WORTH. NOW IT IS JUNK

TAKATA RECALL, THE NISSAN I PURCHASED FROM FUCCILLO NISSAN IN LATHAM, NEW YORK, WAS DEFECTIVE WITH EVERY ISSUE, HOWEVER NISSAN REFUSE TO HONOR ANY RECALLS. THEIR MOST RECENT EXTENDED WARRANTY, INDICATES A REPLACEMENT OF THE EVAP CANISTER AND TUBING, HOWEVER UPON ARRIVING AT THE NISSAN DEALER HE TOLD E MY CAR WAS OLD AND IT ONLY COVERS THE TUBE. THE NISSAN MANUFACTURER IS A JOKE, I DEALT WITH A WOMAN WHO LITERALLY FAILED TO INFORM ME THAT NISSAN NEVER REPORTED THAT I WAS THE NEW OWNER OF THE CAR. HENCE LAST YEAR MY CAR LITERALLY ROLLED BACKWARDS WHILE I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE UP HILL, RIGHT INTO TRAFFIC , POTENTIAL TO BE A DEADLY ACCIDENT , NOTING THE VARIETY OF COMPLAINTS I BELIEVE THAT THEIR WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE. FUCILLO NISSAN REFUSED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION, INSTEAD THE SEALED IT . TWO WEEKS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY, AND OF COURSE THEY REFUSED TO FIX IT TRYING TO EXPLAIN, HOW A CVT TRANSMISSION WORKS, AND THEN HE WENT AS FAR AS SAYING I HAVE TO GET USED TO IT. NISSAN IS A JOKE AND AS LONG AS THEY COULD GET AWAY WITH SELLING DEFECTIVE CARS AND NOT HONORING THEIR VERY OWN RECALLS THEY WILL, BILLY FUCILLO NEEDS HIS LICENCE SNATCHED, THEIR A BUNCH OF CROOKS, WHOM ARE DANGEROUS TO THE PUBLIC.
